Happy Tuesday and thank you for taking the time to stop over. I am getting in the mood

here for Halloween and fall since we finally changed seasons and i made up another

cute little banner to decorate the house.

It's always hard to get a good photo so i did a few closeups too so you can

see all the cute papers and other goodies that i used for it. I mixed lots of

Halloween prints and colors to match the little pictures and lots of ribbons

to tie on the tulle that i laced it with. I wanted to make something bright

and different and i really like the way this came out.

All of it was done with the Halloween CD #4 from Crafty Secrets and i used
a few dies to cut the papers to give it a little more pizazz!! The cute little images
are from the CS Creative Scraps that i cut apart. Then i added lots of cute ribbons
from Really Reasonable Ribbons new halloween set and that was it. I hung it
it up by the door with lots of other fun goodies to be ready for trick or treaters.

Hope you have fun making something for your house too and thanks
so much for stopping by... have a wonderful day :)

It's time again for a fun peek into Halloween this year with all the girls from the RRR Design Team today. I have a cute little book that i made up for this year to put some fun photos of our adventures.

So if you are following the hop than you should have arrived from "Karen's blog"....
and now we can get started on my project for today

I dug deep in my stash for a few things to create this little book with these stickers

with Linus from the Great Pumpkin show. I used papers from a We R 6x6 paper pad and

decorated each page to add photos in. It's alot of different bits and pieces but the ribbons

from the "Ribbon Club Assortment" really set it off on the side.

Here is a quick closeup of the clock and the stickers.

And here is a photo of the ribbons that we have this month!

All of them were so fun to use and I know that you will find lots
of fun candy wraps and boxes to use your extra ribbons up too...

Be sure and hop on over to "Jenn's blog" to see what she did and i hope
you get lots of fun ideas from our hop this month to do for your family!

is new with Crafty Secrets this month. Our theme is "Too Cute to Spook" and

we have lots of fun projects to decorate and celebrate Halloween to inspire you.

For my pocket card today i used a really fun paper doll image from theCreating with Vintage CD #4. It has so many cute papers and tags and
other fun goodies in it to print out. I used 4 of the printed papers for the outside
and to create the inside pocket. And i printed up a page of the Halloween
bingo cards so i could use this cute one for my sentiment. The die i cut
out of printed orange dot paper from the Cd and layered them on the front.
And i finished it with the cutest little paper doll witch i have ever seen.

The cute little image has 2 other outfits on the page that you can print
and i cut both of them out and put them in the pocket with a gift card
for ice cream. The ribbons area both from Really Reasonable Ribbon.com.

Be sure and check out the website for more photos and ideas with this
fun CD and if you are just starting the hop be sure and go to all the
other girls to see what they created for you too.

Welcome to the September Craft Hoarders Anonymous Hop! You should be coming to my blog from Wendi Robinsons Blog. After visiting me, hop over to Kathy Clements Blog next! To start at the beginning of the hop, and for the full list of Bloggers, go to Gloria's Blog...

We have some fabulous ideas for you today with all the goodies we collect in our stashes, which by the way is a whole lot of good things.

So for my project i started with this Tim Holtz folder made of kraft heavy weight cardstock and i created a kind of family keepsake to hold all the neat things we have of our grandmother that just passed away this summer. She made it to be 100 and they had an amazing party for her and it was so fun but sadly she will be missed by all of us. Especially me because she loved to craft too :)

Products for the front: Spellbinders: Oval Floral, Sprigs and Majestic Oval, Prima flowers, Maja papers, Glass Bead Glitter gel from Faber Castell (it's my favorite thing) and the Grove tool to grunge it all up. Oh and i used a little but of white chalk ink in the stencil in the back round too.

Since i wanted to put more than just photos in my book i kept all the pages loose so that i could write things on the back and maybe attach old letters from her and recipes that we found. I have lots more photos to put in but i thought someday i would love my grandchildren to see a neat book with stories and photos of their great great grandmother so they could learn the amazing things about her too.

The papers i used for this are from Maja Designs (Sweden) and they are absolutly gorgeous. I love the quality of them and each set has amazing designs that make it super easy to create an amazing keepsake for your family. I used the Vintage Autumn Basics set and the Vintage Summer Basics set.
Each of them has beautiful vintage color browns and blues and well i just can't say enough about it.

And i also threw in some cards for journaling from 7 gypsies that i picked up and the rose die is from Spellbinders and is called . The butterfly is from Prima and the cute family tag is from Echo Park.

For this page i used more ribbons from my Really Reasonable Ribbon stash, some paper clips to hold on the page and the Best of Times stamp from 7 gypsies in Versafine ink to match.

I really love these papers and it made the photo look so good. This is all five of the sisters together in their house in Salem. It's neat because the house is still there and we go by every time we visit. I can't wait to finish printing all the photos and ask everyone for their memories of her to put inside. It's really going to be something neat to have and share with everyone.

The page is really special because i added buttons from her button box. I wish i new who's shirt or clothes these came off, oh what a story it could tell. The clocks i used to show all the time that she was here on this earth being the wonderful grandma that she was... 100 years is along time and i am so glad that i will have a special page to tell about her party and that wonderful milestone.

Thanks for hopping over to see what i did and be sure and check out the other girls this

month too. I am sure they will inspire you with what they do :) Happy Saturday!!
